Definitions

  • This invention relates to methods of fabricating bodies which are constructed to have channels extending through them.
  • One way of fabricating such bodies is to lay together two or more corrugated sheets, which have identical parallel corrugations in such a way that adjacent sheets touch along their crests. It is customary to join the sheets together along the crests of the corrugations. It is, however, very difficult to position each sheet accurately relative to the other when producing such bodies on a production line. It is particularly difficult to avoid nesting of crests of one sheet into the valleys of an adjacent sheet. This problem is even greater in those cases where it is not possible to join the sheets together, but where it is desired to maintain the sheets in contact with one another. Similarly, if a single corrugated sheet is wound upon itself to form a coil, it is difficult to prevent the crests of one layer nesting in the valleys of the next inner layer.
  • the final bodies produced by the methods described above are suitable as supports for catalysts; in this case the bodies when fabricated are coated with a catalytic material.
  • a catalytic material there are numerous ways of applying catalytic material to such bodies, and in one technique, as described in our copending application Ser. No. 529,244 now U.S. Pat. No. 3,957,692 the completed body is provided with a continuous adherent surface layer of a carrier material by a wash coating process. For example, the body is dipped into an aquasol of the carrier material which is then allowed to dry on the body.
  • One of the problems encountered with depositing the carrier material by a wash-coating process is that there is a tendency for the carrier material to run off the body as it is removed from the sol, and thereby deplete certain areas of the body of the carrier material.
  • a method of manufacturing a body having one or more channels extending therethrough comprises the steps of: forming one or more sheets of material with at least one generally planar region; forming one or more sheets of material with at least one region of first corrugations; working the sheets to superimpose on the, or each, generally planar region and the, or each, corrugated region, a set of second corrugations which are smaller than the first corrugations; and laying the generally planar region, or regions, onto the region, or regions, that are provided with the first corrugations.
  • a method of manufacturing a body having one or more channels extending therethrough comprises the steps of: forming a single sheet of material with at least one generally planar region and at least one region of first corrugations; working the, or each, planar region, and the, or each, region of first corrugations, so as to superimpose on them a set of second corrugations which are smaller than the first corrugations; and laying the single sheet of material onto itself in a manner so as to provide two or more layers of the material and locate the generally planar region of one layer alongside a region of the second corrugations of an adjacent layer; the channel or channels being formed by spacing between adjacent layers.
  • a method of manufacturing a body having a single continuous strip of material layered to provide alternate corrugated and generally planar contiguous sheets comprising steps of working a single strip of the material to form along the strip, alternate planar regions and regions provided with a first set of corrugations, superimposing on the generally planar regions and the region of the strip, a second set of corrugations which are smaller than the first corrugations, and laying the generally planar regions of the strip onto the regions provided with the first corrugations, or vice versa, to form contiguous alternate corrugated and generally planar layers.
  • a body having one or more channels extending therethrough, the body comprising one or more generally planar sheets of material and one or more sheets of material which are provided with a set of first corrugations, the generally planar sheet, or sheets, lying on the corrugated sheet, or sheets, and the spaces between the sheets defining the channels that extend through the body, both the corrugated and generally planar sheets having superimposed thereon a second set of corrugations which are smaller than the first corrugations.
  • the said set of second corrugations is provided on the strip before working the strip to provide it with the set of the said first corrugations.
  • the step of laying the generally planar regions of the strip onto the corrugated regions may be carried out by folding the strip in a zig-zag manner about transverse axes spaced along the strip, in this case, the final body may be in the form of a stack of contiguous or alternate corrugated and generally planar layers.
  • the laying step may be accomplished by winding the strip into a coil.
  • the length of each region of the strip, prior to winding the strip into a coil is at least equal to the circumference, or length of lap, onto which the respective region is wound. That is to say, that the final product has successive windings comprising alternately one revolution of corrugated strip, followed by one revolution of the generally planar strip, with both the corrugated regions and the generally planar regions having superimposed thereon the second set of corrugations.
  • each winding i.e. one complete revolution
  • each winding i.e. one complete revolution
  • the planar and corrugated regions of successive windings are positioned relative to the layer onto which it is wound so that progressing radially there are alternate layer of planar and corrugated regions.
  • the laying step may comprise folding the strip about an axis adjacent the intersection between the regions, and coiling the folded strip upon itself starting at the intersection, thereby simultaneously winding the generally planar region and the corrugated regions to form a coil which has, progressing radially, alternate layers of corrugated and generally planar sheets.
  • the crest and valleys of the first corrugations extend in a direction transverse to the length of the strip so that the final product has corresponding transverse channels extending between the layers.
  • the crests and valleys of the first corrugations may extend in a direction along the length of the strip so that the final product has channels extending in a direction along the strip between adjacent layers.
  • the whole strip or parts of the strip may be perforated, for example, some or all of the planar or corrugated regions may be foraminated.
  • the strip may be made of any desired material depending upon the intended use of the body, for example, the strip may be made from an electrically conductive material, such as a metal, for example, an aluminium bearing ferritic steel (one such type of ferritic steel is Fecralloy steel, a registered Trade Mark of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority); or a ceramic material such as alumina or silicon nitride, or a ferro-electric material having a perovskite type of crystal structure, for example, lanthanum barium titanate.
  • an electrically conductive material such as a metal, for example, an aluminium bearing ferritic steel (one such type of ferritic steel is Fecralloy steel, a registered Trade Mark of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority); or a ceramic material such as alumina or silicon nitride, or a ferro-electric material having
  • the body may form a catalyst support, such as for example, for use in catalysing combustion products of the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine, in which case the catalyst may comprise a noble metal such as platinum or palladium.
  • a catalyst support such as for example, for use in catalysing combustion products of the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine, in which case the catalyst may comprise a noble metal such as platinum or palladium.
  • the strip may be fabricated from any other substrate which forms a support for a catalyst or may be made from a material which is itself a catalyst, similarly the body may be used to effect pyrolysis if the strip of material is made from, or coated with a material which will effect pyrolysis of a fluid flowing along the channels between the adjacent layers.
  • a body manufactured according to any one of the methods of the present invention further comprises providing the material with a continuous adherent surface layer of carrier material at least part of which comprises a gel, firing the gel and depositing a catalytic material onto the surface layer.
  • One way of depositing the catalytic material can be achieved by bombarding a source of the catalytic material in the neighbourhood of the surface layer with energetic ions; the conditions of atmosphere and selectivity of ions permitted to bombard the catalytic material being such that co-deposition upon the surface layer of unwanted material is reduced.
  • energetic ions By energetic ions is meant ions having sufficient energy to cause useful sputtering of the source material. Impurities deposited upon the substrate from the atmosphere in which the sputtering is carried out, or impurities arising from deposition of the bombarding ions themselves upon the substrate, may render the catalyst inactive or diminish its activity. On the other hand, some impurities deposited in this way may be tolerated. We therefore propose that the conditions of atmosphere and selectivity of ions permitted to bombard this source material are carefully controlled to avoid impairing the activity of the product catalyst. Thus, by “unwanted material” it is meant material which in the quantity codeposited in practice of the method of the invention, unacceptably impairs the catalytic activity of the product.
  • An alternative method of depositing the catalytic material onto the surface layer is to form a slurry containing the catalytic material and to wash coat the slurry onto the surface layer.

  • the corrugating rolls 13 are then moved out of engagement with the strip and the strip is then advanced past the rolls 13 so as to leave a generally planar region 15 which has the miniature corrugations 12 superimposed on it.
  • the rolls 13 are then moved back into engagement with the strip 10 to form a further corrugated region 14 which extends along the strip 10.

  • the strip 10 is folded about a transverse axis located at the intersection between the generally planar region 15 and the corrugated region 14.
  • the strip 10 so folded is then wound into a coil, commencing the winding at the region where the strip is folded at the intersection between the generally planar region 15 and the corrugated region 14.
